When temperature dips and teeth begin to chatter we know that Christmas has finally set in !!! It appears that the advent calendar and Indian winters seem to share a wonderful bond.... From the very beginning of the month the mercury starts dipping and by the Christmas eve the weather becomes freezing cold . While the extreme north gets enveloped in snow,we in capital city enjoy cold foggy mornings and bit sunny afternoons.

Xmas tree Salad

Sliced cucumber, grapes, blanched beans n bell peppers .

Our Christmas tree was already up and dazzling since early this month but we were still in mood to decorate some more ....... thus while drawing and crafting various paper versions we came up with this super

easy idea !! While I sliced the veggies n fruits ,

daughter arranged it on the platter...

To ride out cold breezy days and keep lil one

occupied we have been baking some festive treats,

nurturing our little balcony garden , capturing the

gorgeous reds and greens of the local market n

spending time creatively in loads of xmas crafts.

The winter season here is synonymous with vibrant

flowers and luscious juicy fruits and veggies -

heaps of strawberries, grapes, pomegranates, kiwis ,

winter cucumbers, colourful bell peppers, broccoli

and cherry tomatoes flood the local markets, making

it truly a veggie lovers paradise. Each visit to markettempts us to fill our our grocery bags up to the brim !!

After making loads of Santa cap cards and

gift tags for friends and family we decided to

treat ourselves on one too !!! The firm strawberries

made way to salad while the extra pomegranate arils made way to the juicer . It was the day of xmas salad ..... and holidays surely have this magical

share
